Thread: Dave Rubin—the Renegade Dark Web Intellectual, according to @bariweiss—partnered with George Mason University's Institute for Humane Studies (IHS) to produce his YouTube show The Rubin Report, which he says is "fan-funded."
IHS is a think tank housed at GMU & it's heavily funded by Charles Koch, Art Pope & other wealthy rightwing donors. Despite much of its output being on the fringe of economics, since it's part of GMU, a public university in Virginia, it's not exactly relegated to the "dark web."

Now, here's my doctoral thesis on what IS a good term to use for these folks....drumroll....
Assholes.
Assholes.
Finally, you may have read about GMU recently in the news for breaching its own ethics standards by giving the Charles Koch Foundation influence over hiring decisions in exchange for millions & its Scalia Law School doing same w/ the Federalist Society. truth-out.org/news/item/4434…
